Iowa Cemetery Laws and Procedures Meet the winners of the Robert Carter Award E-Mail List: To join the Iowa Cemeteries e-mail list hosted by SAPIC member Fred Reese, sending an e-mail message to IA-Cemeteries-L-request@rootsweb.com Leave the subject area blank. Put only the word subscribe within the message and nothing else. You will receive a confirmation that you have been subscribed to the list, along with instructions on participating. There are hundreds of folks already on this list who monitor it and post to it, so every post is not necessarily from a member of SAPIC. Most folks who are on the list are genealogists searching for relatives or directions to a cemetery in the state or have questions about our cemeteries. Everyone does what they can to answer them.
